Description
This sequence change replaces arginine, which is basic and polar, with histidine, which is basic and polar, at codon 173 of the PTEN protein (p.Arg173His). This variant is present in population databases (rs121913294, gnomAD 0.01%). This missense change has been observed in individuals with PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (PMID: 17526800, 19265751, 20533527, 23335809; Invitae). ClinVar contains an entry for this variant (Variation ID: 376032). Advanced modeling of protein sequence and biophysical properties (such as structural, functional, and spatial information, amino acid conservation, physicochemical variation, residue mobility, and thermodynamic stability) performed at Invitae indicates that this missense variant is expected to disrupt PTEN protein function with a positive predictive value of 80%. Experimental studies have shown that this missense change affects PTEN function (PMID: 10866302). This variant disrupts the p.Arg173 amino acid residue in PTEN. Other variant(s) that disrupt this residue have been determined to be pathogenic (PMID: 10866302, 17526800, 25669429, 28475857). This suggests that this residue is clinically significant, and that variants that disrupt this residue are likely to be disease-causing. For these reasons, this variant has been classified as Pathogenic.
